Buckinghamshire Care's apprenticeship scheme acts as a pathway for young and disabled people to learn skills.

"We genuinely believe with the right support anyone can get paid employment,” says Martin Farrow, managing director of Buckinghamshire Care. Last year, only 6% of people with learning disabilities in England had a paid job. But High Wycombe based Buckinghamshire Care has bucked the national trend by setting up an apprenticeship scheme specifically aimed at people with a learning disability, mental health difficulty or autism.
